CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke released on conditional bail, made to sign peace bond

Abhijeet Dipke, the chief of the Cockroach Janta Party, was released on conditional bail on Saturday following his signing of a peace bond. The Delhi Police had apprehended Dipke earlier in the day after he refused to comply with a notice prohibiting him from organizing the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march at Connaught Place. The activist, seen wearing a white T-shirt featuring the image of Mahatma Gandhi, was apprehended around 4:50 pm outside Anish Gawande's residence, who serves as a spokesperson for the Nationalist Congress Party.

Moments after his arrest, Dipke unfurled the Tricolour before being pushed into a police van and taken away. CJP had expressed uncertainty over Dipke's whereabouts following his detention, while the All India Students Association (AISA) accused the Delhi Police of keeping Neha Bora, the party's president, in a police station until midnight.

The CJP demanded answers from the police regarding Dipke's location and the legal grounds for his arrest, emphasizing that detentions would not discourage people from participating in protests.
